SAFE FOR FIR-E-WOR'KS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,811, dated November 8, 1887.

Application filed August 2, 1887. Serial No. 245,924. (1% model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS LLOYD, of Paterson, in the county of Passaio and State of New J ersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safes for Fire-Works, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved safe for storing fire-works in a secure and reliable n1anner,'so that in case of explosion no damage by fire or otherwise will be done to the building in which the safe is located; and the invention consists of a safe for fireworks made of boiler-iron or other suitable material and connected by a ventilatingpipe to the chimney or roof of the building, said safe and pipe being covered by asbestos cloth or other suitable non-combustible material.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation, and Fig. 2 a vertical transverse section, of my improved safe for fire-works.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I

Referring to the drawings, A represents a safe for fire-works and similar goods, which is made of boiler-iron or other suitable material and of any suitable size. To an opening, a, in the top part of the safe is connected a ventilating-pipe, B, which is conducted either to a chimney or directly to the roof. The safe A and ventilating-pipe B are covered by alayer, G, of asbestos cloth or other suitable non-combustible covering.

In case of the explosion of the fire-works stored in the safe the smoke and flame can' escape through the ventilating-pipe B without causing any damage to the surrounding part of the building, or without causing the bursting of the safe, which would be the case in a closed safe without escape-pipe.

' The ventilating-pipe acts as a safety device for the safe, and prevents all danger arising from explosion of the fire-works stored in the safe.

THOMAS LLOYD.
